I was getting a bumper for my truck today an i found a suburban with a 6.5turbo 1995....had 328,000 miles an smokes....the guy said it ran just smoked reallybad.....he said i could pick it up for 300.......is this a good rebuild at least or should i just forget about it......my truck is a 96 an the pullys is the oly thing i see differant on the engine...Are they basically the same engine? an is that a good price for a rebuildable engine.

 

It wouldn't be a bad rebuild. $300 is probably about what is worth. The difference is that you probably have the better colling system.

 

as far as whats the difference in the cooling system?

 

The newer one has a bigger water pump and two thermostats.

 

OH ok.....I will look at the thermostate housing on the older engine tomarrow...thanks.
